It's good to have this feature, but it is still up to the individual developers to separate the PR work in a way that can be merged "all or some and in which order". It can make organizing, reviewing and rebasing easier but a PR with repeat, broken or overriding code can screw up just the same. I guess what I mean is, don't expect it to just sort out multiple PRs that wouldn't have worked together without it.

I much prefer gnome for multiple desktop switching and app switching in general. Seeing this article I know there are many on macos who agree!

I think Libresprite is a fork of Aseprite from before it changed its license. In that context, maybe not a big deal.

So I'm sorry to hear about some of the problems with Linux font rendering in this article, it goes beyond my knowledge. I want to say though as a user, I have, between Linux, Mac and Windows machines over the years, literally always preferred Linux font rendering over cleartype and now even Mac not caring about lower resolutions and non-mac screens. You shouldn't need a 4k screen to get crisp and smooth fonts and sometimes even when you do they still look like shit, especially cleartype.

I love ubuntu/linux for everything. Development, games under proton or classics via lutris, emulators or sourceports. It's just mecca. My "lesser" hardware performs better than Windows 11 and I am more free to customize. This is the greatest time to be a Linux user ever, and it's only getting better.

In French and German the word for engineer is "Ingenieur"

This is a fine article, but it ends right when it starts to get good. I was totally ready for the less common knowledge or a juicy story.

I am on Lutris a lot. It's awesome what can be played on Linux these days. I think it may end up being the primary home of vintage gaming.
